"This is Pastor Yahaya D Dikko of ECWA Church Sabon Kurutu in Kachia LGA of Kaduna State. He was kidnapped about two (2) months ago. Ransom has been paid but the Kidnappers insisted that a motorcycle worth #800000 must be brought before his release. By sheer divine intervention, he escaped alive and I stumbled on him this morning. He has just been taken for treatment in an undisclosed medical facility. To God be the glory."
